Tom: Jess, you mentioned before that you have your hair done.
Jess: I get my hair done monthly. Or more accurately, every four to six weeks I get my hair done. I have highlights added, which is a single color. They select small sections of hair and apply color to them, so the overall effect is more sun-kissed, as if it's been naturally lightened by the sun.
Additionally, I also have lowlights put through my hair, which is gentler on the hair and adds more dimension when you use two colors, and this part of the process takes quite a while. The hair sections that will receive color are wrapped in foil, and it needs around thirty minutes to process, and during that time they position a large…
It's hard to explain, really. It resembles a large hood that emits warm air onto your hair, which speeds up the coloring procedure, so the whole thing ends up being really lengthy and drawn out.
I typically read through two or three magazines while this is happening. And then they rinse out all of the coloring, and I receive a protective treatment for my hair because the coloring often makes it dry, so the treatment is nourishing and moisturizing and they leave it on for about twenty minutes, at which point I usually doze off, and then they'll rinse your hair and then cut it and style it so anything between two and a half and four hours, so much more complex and longer than your typical half-an-hour short back and sides.
That's correct, I follow a complete monthly beauty routine. I also have my nails done, with a manicure and pedicure scheduled at the same time to save time. And I really enjoy it. It's always such a luxurious experience to have one person working on your hands while another person tends to your feet, and sometimes I get matching nail colors which always makes me feel wonderful.
What other treatments do I have done monthly? I attempt to go for a massage and a facial once a month. Currently, I'm following an exercise program so I work out every day, so my muscles are quite sore, especially when I stand up and sit down, so I'm going for a special … what's the word … ayurvedic. I'm not certain of the exact term: special massage where they apply firm pressure to your muscles and then I follow it with a facial.
Yes, I think that's all of it. I think that's sufficient, really!
Tom: Well, I wouldn't want to spend all that time! But you certainly look wonderful.
